Several influences of Taoist thought on contemporary society

The root and core of Taoist thought is "Tao", which is used to deal with various problems such as man and nature, monarch governing the country, personal cultivation and so on. Even today, thousands of years later, Taoist thought has certain reference significance to modern society.

What practical significance does Taoism have for today's society?

1. Oppose the alienation of social civilization and protect the natural value of guardians?

The reason why Laozi emphasized Tao is because in Taoist philosophy, Tao is the origin of the world, the foundation of the existence of all things, and the nature of all things in the world. The objective description of the existence and essence of Tao means that everything is not man-made and is natural without external interference. ?

"Tao, law and nature" should follow the objective laws of everything and the natural development trend of the subject itself. Taoist thought profoundly reflects the ideological theme of opposing the alienation of social civilization and protecting people's original value. ?

2. Oppose quick success, cultivate one's morality, and obey one's heart?

Whenever we visit Taoist temples in tourist attractions, it is not difficult to find that Taoist priests are often carefree, chatting over tea or playing the piano, taking their time and cultivating their sentiments. This is the living state of Taoist families. Idle, natural, quiet and leisurely. For example, Zhongyue Temple in Zhengzhou, the hinterland of the Central Plains, and Bi Xia Temple on the top of Mount Tai are all famous Taoist attractions. So immortal, so poetic, obedient to the heart, dedicated to cultivate immortality, cultivate sentiment, and stay away from the world. Modern people, however, are in a hurry and preoccupied, as if they can't delay for a minute. Everyone seems nervous, racing against time to change the world. Little do they know that the world has also brought negative reactions due to the wanton destruction of human beings. Modern human beings should also know more about the state of mind in Taoist thought, release inner freedom and gain inner pleasure. ?

3. Oppose the violation of natural laws and want the harmonious development between man and nature?

Let nature take its course, which is said by Taoism, is applied to our society today, that is, to develop the economy and transform the world, and we must follow the objective laws of things. Don't blindly transform, pay attention to scientific planning, respect and protect nature. Only by respecting each other can we live in harmony and enjoy the beautiful earth!
